What is going on when two bit pirates without a military operate without fear?

Prayers for their families. Terrible.

To much ocean and to few warships, these people split off from the main group and were picked off. I saw the headline when it broke, my first thought was i wondered if it was a rescue attempt gone wrong. RIP

Right, which is why fear of reprisal would help. I mean, we did it when the navy was much smaller and consisted of sailing vessels.

You may be right (rescue gone wrong), as a number of the pirates are also dead.

Personally i would like to sign up for one of those "Pirate Hunting expeditions" You get to go out with a high powered rifle and hope they come after the ship your on, then you get to personally bag a few of them when they get to close. I'm not kidding either. I remember reading about them shortly after the 08 incident when the Two pirates were shot and killed by Navy Seals.

I am still in awe of those SEALs who picked off the pirates on the high seas at 30 yards away. Wow. Those dudes are bada$$!

The world fought Hitler and the Japs and kicked the sh!t out of them but these savage smelly skinny Pirate Pigs with their little row boats and rifles are attacking giant ships and WINNING, why won't that rotten friggin crooked UN do something, I said in another thread that "if Hitler had these skinny savages on his side during the war he would have won" It's to bad we can't bring Harry Truman & General Patton back to life they'd show them how it's done, Obama Jug Ears should shoot some of his Drones over there, it's amazing why the whole world just seems to shrug this off while the savages keep winning.
ONLY MENTALLY RETARDED PEOPLE WOULD SAIL A YACHT INTO THOSE WATERS.

OT: There was a show on Discovery or one of those other cable channels showing SEALS and other special forces type troops from the various branches engaging in a bunch of different tasks, and then showing other people trying to do the same -- the others ranged from fit civilians of similar ages to non-specially trained troops.

Some of the things the trained guys could do were amazing (getting through oxygen deprivation, cold, distractions, etc.)

Sorry, Harry. The legitimacy of that story will not be accepted on this forum because it came from Fox. See if you can track down Dan Rather to corroborate.

Anywho, I thought this quote from our Secretary of State was telling:

"I am heartened by the clear, unequivocal condemnation of this disrespectful, disgraceful act that has come from American religious leaders of all faiths," Clinton said about "Burn a Koran Day" at a Sept. 8 dinner in observance of the Muslim holiday Iftar. "Itâ€™s regrettable that a pastor in Gainesville, Fla., with a church of no more than 50 people can make this outrageous and distressful, disgraceful plan and get the worldâ€™s attention," she said the same day, at a Council on Foreign Relations event.

Oh my gosh! A Christian pastor was threatening to burn a book while Muslims are busy burning down churches with people in them (as described in the story). This cannot stand! The U.S. stands in solidarity with inanimate objects everywhere.

The comparison doesn't make sense, since one took place in the US and the others did not.

The US should condemn those attacks -- and my guess would be that we have -- but it's apples and oranges when you're talking about domestic and foreign, imo
